Team Previews
Hong Kong Women Preview
Hong Kong Women entered the series with decent expectations but have fallen short in both batting and bowling departments. In their first match, they managed just 93/8 and failed to defend it against Thailand. Their second outing against UAE Women was no better, with another subpar batting performance. Captain Natasha Miles has been the only consistent figure with the bat, scoring 25+ in both matches, while Mariko Hill showed flashes of aggression.
Bowling-wise, Kary Chan and Betty Chan have been economical but lacked wicket-taking breakthroughs. The middle order remains fragile, and if the top order fails again, Hong Kong could collapse under pressure. That said, they have the experience of players like Yasmin Daswani and Shanzeen Shahzad to potentially anchor innings.
If they can set a 120+ target, Hong Kong Women could rely on spin and slow conditions to their benefit, especially with Terdthai’s low bounce and turning surface
Kuwait Women Preview
Kuwait Women have had a dismal run so far in this series. They were bowled out for 59 against UAE Women and managed only 71 in their second match against Thailand. Their batting lineup has failed to build partnerships, with only Priyada Murali and Amna Tariq showing any resistance. The rest of the batting order has crumbled under pressure.
In the bowling department, Balasubramani Shanti and Suchitha Lita D Sa have tried to contain runs but without much support from the field or other bowlers. Their spin-heavy attack has struggled to adapt to pitch variations, and fielding lapses have added to their woes.
To have any chance, Kuwait Women need to post at least 100 runs and bowl with discipline, but unless their batters step up, it’s going to be a steep challenge. Experience and exposure remain a big gap when compared to teams like Hong Kong.

Favourite Team Today
Hong Kong Women are the clear favourites in today’s match. They have a better T20I structure and greater exposure to international competitions. Players like Natasha Miles, Mariko Hill, and Kary Chan bring experience and composure under pressure—key assets in tight matches. Additionally, their batting unit has shown more depth compared to Kuwait’s, which has repeatedly collapsed for low scores. While Hong Kong hasn’t secured a win in the series yet, their overall gameplay has been far more competitive. Their bowlers have been able to contain runs, and the top order is capable of chasing or setting competitive targets. Kuwait Women, by contrast, seem out of rhythm, struggling to string together partnerships or control the innings. Unless there’s a drastic turnaround in Kuwait’s approach, this match appears tilted in favour of Hong Kong Women.
Pitch Report
Terdthai Cricket Ground has a slow surface that offers assistance to spinners and low bounce. Batting becomes easier in the second innings due to dew, but totals above 120 are often difficult to chase. Teams winning the toss usually opt to bowl first.
